Multiple DHCP IP's on WAN

[bruor]

Hello everyone,

I am looking for some creative ways to pull this off…

I have an ISP that will allow me to have 2 IP addresses,  but only if i DHCP request both of them.  I am hoping there is some "creative" solution that would allow PFsense to request an additional IP using a virtual interface of some type so that it will hold the lease and i can use it for port forwards similarly to if I were setting up a bunch of statics..

It's not possible through the GUI.
You "could" buy a cheap NAT router and put it in front of a second interface (or the LAN).

Alternatively you can hack yourself some alias-type VIP's. But thats not supported.

Or just look that you can get those IP's static ;)
Then you can use PARP or CARP VIPs :)

It would look like this:

                      ----nat-router----OPT1
                    /                      pfSense LAN ----- clients/server
ISP-Link----- switch -------------------WAN
